Centers and Peripheries in Romance Language Literatures in the Americas and Africa
What is center and periphery? How can centers and peripheries be recognized by their ontological and axiological features? How does the axiological saturation of a literary field condition aesthetics? How did these factors transform center-periphery relationships to the former metropolises of Romance literatures of the Americas and Africa? What are the consequences of various deperipheralization contexts and processes for poetics? Using theoretical sections and case studies, this book surveys and investigates the limits of globalization. Through explorations of the intercultural dynamics, the aesthetic contributions of former peripheries are examined in terms of the transformative nature of peripheries on centralities.
The Pyrenees in the Modern Era
This original study examines different incarnations of the Pyrenees, beginning with the assumptions of 18th-century geologists, who treated the mountains like a laboratory, and romantic 19th-century tourists and habitués of the spa resorts, who went in search of the picturesque and the sublime. The book analyses the individual visions of the heroic Pyrenees which in turn fascinated 19th-century mountaineers and the racing cyclists of the early Tour de France. Martyn Lyons also investigates the role of the Pyrenees during the Second World War as an escape route from Nazi-occupied France, when for thousands of refugees these dangerous borderlands became 'the mountains of liberty', and considers the place of the Pyrenees in recent times right up to the present day. Drawing on travel writing, press reports and scientific texts in several languages, The Pyrenees in the Modern Era explores both the French and Spanish sides of the Pyrenees to provide a nuanced historical understanding of the cultural construction of one of Europe's most prominent border regions. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of Europe's cultural history in a transnational context.
Riu avall
Aquest llibre és un recull d&’articles d&’opinió de l&’estudiós vila-rodoní Josep Santesmases, que des de l&’any 1986 escriu regularment a la premsa, bàsicament a El Pati i El Punt. En aquest llibre ens ofereix una selecció de gairebé un centenar d&’articles publicats fins ara. En general, els escrits dels diaris i setmanaris tenen la virtut de la immediatesa i per aquest motiu alguns d&’aquests escrits s&’aguanten justet per al dia o per a la setmana però són terriblement indigestos al cap d&’un temps. Aquest no és el cas del recull de Riu avall, que sempre aporta la idea generosa, contrastada, amb base de saber el que es diu i amb una opinió fonamentada que fa qu...
La querella de los novelistas
La configuración del pasado, permanentemente en cuestión, entraña una disputa política que nunca se limita a este, sino que atañe también a cómo nos situamos ante el futuro. Este libro analiza la lucha por establecer un relato hegemónico de la historia reciente de España que tuvo lugar a caballo entre los siglos XX y XXI. En ella los novelistas españoles tuvieron un protagonismo muy relevante. La querella sobre la Segunda República, la Guerra Civil y la posguerra conllevó una confrontación en torno al significado de la Transición y su legado. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, que combina –entre otras– la historia cultural y los estudios de memoria, estas páginas iluminan los entresijos de esa lucha a partir del estudio de cinco destacados novelistas: Juan Marsé, Rafael Chirbes, Almudena Grandes, Antonio Muñoz Molina y Javier Cercas.
Globalizace v literatuře?
Existuje globalizace i ve slovesné kultuře? Jak je tomu v románských literaturách? Jsou všechny kultury stejné? Přistupme k literaturám jako k prostoru kulturních ohnisek a položme si otázku kulturního spádu nikoli z hlediska center, nýbrž periferií, jejich rezistencí a schopnosti postavit proti centralitám obohacující inovace. Vztahy center a periferií jsou historicky variabilní, kulturní konfigurace se mění. To je i případ románských literatur — původní dominance Evropy přechází do fáze recepce a různorodého vlivu Amerik a Afriky na evropské literatury. A česká literatura? Není i v ní podobná interakce s evropským a mimoevropským prostorem? Publikace je dílem týmu předních českých romanistů a jejich doktorandů působících na Masarykově univerzitě v Brně, Univerzitě Palackého v Olomouci a Univerzitě Karlově v Praze.

Manual of Discourse Markers in Romance
Virtually unstudied until the 1980s, discourse markers have gone on to become a growth industry. Research on markers is central to comprehensive theories of the synchronic linguistic system as such, of the use of language in communication, and of language change. From the very beginning, linguists working on Romance languages have been at the forefront of research on discourse markers. Including among its contributors many of the foremost experts in the field, this volume not only offers substantial state-of-the-art introductions to the diverse facets of contemporary research on discourse markers, with a focus on Romance, but it achieves added value by including in each chapter original and ...
